Fu Guang’s sudden shout startled Yun Bei.
When she realized it was Fu Guang, she immediately said, "Fu Guang, it's me!"
Hearing Yunbei's voice, Fu Guang finally calmed down and asked, "Sister, it's you. You scared me. Why didn't you turn on the light?"
"Isn't it me? I want to turn on the light, but there's a power outage."
"That really scared me to death."
As Fu Guang spoke, he patted his chest and walked towards Yunbei.
However, after he took a few steps, he felt something was wrong, and then he stopped and asked, "Sister, why is there water on the ground?"
"It was raining so hard outside that the water in the yard couldn't get out, so it came into the house."
Si Nanzhao, who was moving things in the kitchen, also heard Fu Guang's cry. Thinking something had happened, he immediately ran back and asked loudly, "What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?"
"It's okay, Fu Guang was scared by me."
"Fuguang, why are you up?" Si Nanzhao looked at Fuguang and said with a smile, "Go back to sleep. Your sister and I will take care of the family matters."
"Brother-in-law, there's water in the house, what should we do?"
"There's nothing we can do for now. We'll have to wait until tomorrow. I'll have the drain repaired tomorrow."
"How long will it take?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. We can't have someone repair it at night."
"Okay, go to bed."
"Then I'm going to sleep. Remember to call me if you need anything."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely call you if anything happens."
When Fu Guang returned to the room, Yun Bei asked Si Nan Zhao, "How's the kitchen? Have you put away the food and other things?"
"I put them all in the cupboard. But all the firewood in the kitchen is soaked in water."
"Just soak in it, don't worry about it for now. Let's get the water out of this room first, otherwise it will keep getting more and more, which will be troublesome."
"Okay, I'll get a bucket."
Si Nanzhao returned to the kitchen, took a bucket, and prepared to take the water out of the house. At this moment, there was a knock on the gate.
"Who is knocking on the door so late at night?" Si Nanzhao and Yun Bei looked at each other, then turned around to open the door.
When he opened the door, he saw the division commander's communicator, Xiao Xu, standing outside. He couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Xu, why are you here?"
"Captain Si, the commander asked me to call you over for a meeting."
"Meeting? Where?"
"The chief's home."
"Okay, I got it. I'll be right over."
Si Nanzhao went back to the house and said something to Yunbei, then put on his raincoat, changed into rain boots and went to the commander's house.
As soon as Si Nanzhao left, Fu Guang's door opened again, revealing a little head.
"Sister, my brother-in-law is gone?"
"He's in a meeting. Why aren't you asleep yet?" Yun Bei smiled, walked up to Fu Guang, and said, "Go to bed quickly."
"Sister, why aren't you sleeping?"
"I have to clean up the water in the living room." Yun Bei pointed to the water that was already up to his ankles, then pointed to the bucket that Si Nanzhao had just brought over, and said, "Look, I have all the tools ready."
"Sister, let me help you. I can't sleep anyway, so I might as well help you clear out the water."
"Okay." Yunbei did not stop Fu Guang's enthusiasm for work.
So, the brother and sister took advantage of the flashlight and started to get busy.
Fu Guang is responsible for filling the water, and Yun Bei is responsible for pouring it out.
Of course, in order to prevent the poured water from flowing back in, Yunbei first used something to block the threshold.
As for Si Nanzhao, when he arrived at the commander's house, there were already several people sitting inside. Si Nanzhao greeted everyone one by one and then sat down next to them.
Everyone hasn't arrived yet, and Commander Qi hasn't come down yet. He's still on the phone in the study on the second floor.
The first few people who arrived started chatting about today's rainstorm. Compared to Si Nanzhao's recent arrival, the shortest stay among the others was two years.
They had experienced the rainy weather in J Province before, but this kind of rainstorm was the first time they had seen it.
Therefore, everyone was very worried about the damage that this rainstorm would cause.
As they were chatting, a few more people arrived. Soon, all the cadres above the regimental level were present.
Everyone sat together, waiting for Commander Qi.
As for Commander Qi, after finishing his phone call, he walked down with a serious expression. Seeing that everyone was present, he said, "Everyone is here, let's have the meeting."
While Si Nanzhao and the others were in the meeting, Yunbei had already cleaned up all the water in the house. Because the threshold was blocked by something, although water still came in, it was very little.
Therefore, Yunbei was very satisfied with the fruits of her and Fuguang's labor. She smiled and said to Fuguang, "Fuguang, are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."
"Sister, I'm not hungry." Fu Guang smiled and shook his head. Although he was a little tired, his stomach was not hungry.
Moreover, he did not have the habit of eating late at night because his sister once told him that eating too much at night would make it difficult to sleep.
Therefore, he will not eat too much at night now, usually 80% full is enough.
"Are you really not hungry?"
"I'm really not hungry."
"Okay, then I won't eat." Yun Bei smiled and touched Fu Guang's head, then said to him, "Sister will go to the kitchen to get some water, you can wash your feet and go to bed."
Yunbei went to the kitchen to get some water and asked Fuguang to wash his feet. She then returned to the kitchen and brought the water into the space.
The firewood has been soaked in water and can only be placed in the space to dry. Otherwise, it is unknown how long it will take to wait for the weather to clear up here.
After finishing the firewood, Yunbei looked at the things on the stove and put away everything that could be put into the space.
Then she looked at the water in the house again and decided to clean it out. Otherwise, she was afraid that if it soaked for too long, it would damage the foundation.
She started working right away. By the time Fu Guang washed his feet and went to bed, she was working hard in the kitchen.
Si Nanzhao's meeting lasted a long time. Yunbei had cleaned up all the water in the kitchen, but he didn't come back.
Yunbei was tired, so he didn't wait for Si Nanzhao. He went straight into the space to take a shower and then went to bed.
While she was half asleep, she seemed to hear a knock on the door.
Fortunately, the rain outside was not so heavy at this time. Yunbei put on his clothes, held up his umbrella and went to open the door.
When I opened the door, I saw Wang Meihua coming in. Although she was holding an umbrella, she was still soaked.
After seeing Yunbei, Wang Meihua looked embarrassed and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you so late. It's just that Haiwa has a high fever, and it's not convenient to send him to the hospital right now, so I have to trouble you."
"It's okay, wait for me, I'll get the medicine box out."
Yunbei returned to the room, put on his medicine box, and followed Wang Meihua to her home.
The power outage was very inconvenient. Although Wang Meihua's house was lit with oil lamps, it still looked very dim.
